Posted by Health Guide in I’ve read that bilberry improves night vision and reduces eyestrain. But isn’t there another berry that relieves tired, dry, blurry eyes?
Yes, bilberry appears to improve circulation to the eyes and this may lead to sharper night vision and relief of eyestrain. Bilberry has a natural attraction to the eyes and it contains potent antioxidants called anthocyanosides. There are over 15 naturally occurring anthocyanosides in bilberry. You can also get these anthocyanosides by eating plentiful amounts of blueberries, cranberries, and huckleberries. For people with diabetes who have decreased blood flow to the eyes (diabetic retinopathy, which can lead to blindness), these antioxidants may prove beneficial.
Schisandra berry is the other berry and it is used for many purposes including improving vision and relieving tired, dry, blurry eyes. It has also been shown to have antioxidant properties. The antioxidants in bilberry and Schisandra are important for the eyes because like other areas of the body, the eyes are under attack from free radicals.
